intvdave Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Sorry to France but the sound samples are messed up. I am not going to spend any more time trying to get it to work. At least the German and Italian work fairly well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvdave Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Here is the Italian version with working voices. I would b e curious if anyone test it. spartans_italian.rom I can finish up the German version if anyone wants it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) It works really well. Don't speak Italian but I think everything is working except the numbers, which, I think, would be on the Intellivoice rom. You don't really need to know the number of aliens but you do need to know your energy level to play this game properly. edit: And I notice the rom file is in cc3 format. If you make the rom in intellicart format rather than cc3 format it will work with more emulators. Edited November 29, 2021 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSRSteve Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 well, I don't seem to have the Italian res rom tapes (maybe any of the Italian tapes). But here is one that says it is German Res Rom. I haven't taken the time to study it, but it should be there. Z23 - German Final Space Spartans & Res Rom.wav 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z23 - German Final Space Spartans & Res Rom.wav 92.06 MB · 4 downloads Interesting to listen to. 3 different people doing phrases for the game. The first one probably for the Intellivoice ROM because he does all the numbers and the German "Mattel Electronics presents". All three are also doing some phonetic sounds which were probably used for reference. Edited November 30, 2021 by Intymike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the international versions, it was documented that you fixed a couple of bugs from the original game. Do you have it documented what you changed? i hacked the original English version with a german phrase and it works fine but when I use the original code in the international versions, it does not work. Do you recall or have documented how/why the initialization of the Intellivoice is different? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to do this with the french phrase also but the encoding of them must be wrong. spartans.rom I was looking to see if I could get the voice working for the numbers. I know I can get the english numbers working but it would be to much work for something I already feel accomplished with. At least we can now hear the German and Italian games. What might be funny would be to mix the english, german, and italian phrases together in one game 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you recall or have documented how/why the initialization of the Intellivoice is different? The main work was to fix the syntax of the numbers (five and twenty instead of twenty-five, for example). I am sure that I at least considered fixing the bug that allows you to move the alien bases in the final round (off by one bug), and if I fixed anything, that would have been the one. As for the Intellivoice initialization, it certainly is different when you are dealing with an Intellivoice that has three different languages. You have to pick which bay of the unit to use for ResRom. But I don't remember if I even am the one that made those changes. I would think you could see the changes in the code. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains what I am seeing!! Thank you! To bad we do not have the ResRom but at least we can hear all the other voices in the games. Do you recall if the French version worked? I see that 5 phrases sound correctly, 2 kind of work, and 13 of them produce static. My guess is it never worked or the ITV file you provided was not dumped properly. Is there a chance you could try dumping it again if it was known to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 http://intellivisionrevolution.com/intellivoice-database Started an Intellivoice phrase database. Is anyone able to get the phrase list for the international voices? I have german. Also, want to add homebrew titles. Please list all games in here so they can be added at some point. Thanks!

It clearly uses Intellivoice. Does it need ECS as well? Is it mostly functional, or still just a work in progress? Looks like it uses the maze layout of Treasure of Tarmin. Are there any instructions? BTW, thanks for all the ongoing game updates! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel3302 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Once upon a time Tower of Mystery was supposed to be a "voice-optional" game. I remember attending a recording session where a voice actor recorded the phrases that were to be included in the game. However, that never got incorporated into the game before ME folded, and it certainly was not added when Tower of Doom was released by Intv. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you make any further progress with documenting the Quest voices? This game seems to have a ton of potential, really sad it didn’t make it to a more playable state. Has anyone been able to determine the differences between the various name options (other than beginning inventory for two)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
